Summary of the subject: This course is designed for students to learn the fundamental foundations of mathematical and theoretical geodesy, which are components of higher geodesy - a science that deals with the definition of the form, size and gravitational field of the Earth. The study of the geometry of the earth ellipsoid, the methods of solving various geodetic problems on its surface, the reflection of the earth ellipsoid on the plane in order to obtain systems of flat rectangular coordinates are the main content of the section "Mathematical Geodesy". Accordingly, the section dealing with methods for determining the parameters of the earth ellipsoid, its orientation in the body of the Earth, reducing the measured values from the physical surface of the earth to the ellipsoid, the theoretical basis for determining the heights of the points of the earth's surface, etc., is called "Theoretical geodesy".
Assessment methods and criteria: written reports by laboratory work, oral examination (30%); final control (70 %, control measure, exam, 10%, oral form).
